I've never had any issues with taking it fasted. And my workouts certainly aren't suffering either. In fact I can't say there has been any difference between eating an hour before my workout and training fasted.

Hey gang, apologies for my absence but I haven't done anything since last Wednesday due some minor illness and stomach issues. We're all good now though so I hit the gym today in full Stimul8'd force! I wanted to try and hit all muscle groups since I've been off for a week so I stuck to one exercise and increased the volume. But as you can see I wasn't quite ready to pull it off yet. I will say that the stimul8 had me revved the fug up! The most I'd had for stims since last week was coffee, so that little scoop of magic energy I took this morning had me throwing the weights around... notice the PR! :-D

So snags gave me an accurate critique in how my legs are lagging behind my upper body development. This is quite true as I've always had chicken legs lol. So my main focus on building my form is to develop my legs now. And as a challenge, Koopa told me to do 10x10 squats at 60% 1RM. Whew buddy...I can say the challenge was more mental than physical. Good thing I had Stimul8 coursing through my veins, because it gave me the focus I needed to get to get it done!

Squats
190x10x10
*fûck yeah!

Okay I didn't do the leg curls first mainly because I knew the 10 sets would be a challenge in and of itself. My first 4 sets were perfect form ass to grass and 60s rests. After that the rests got a little longer and depth got closer to parallel, but I was always at least that. About set 7 my legs were shaking through every rep and I started seeing black dots shooting around my field of vision. But fûck it, it took 30 mins to get through it all but I kept pushing and got that shît!

The rest of my workout went like this...

Lying One Leg Curls
50x12+4 (I went from my left leg to my right then immediately to my left for 4 more and to my right for 4 more)
50x10+4
50x10+4

There's no doubt in my mind that this would not have been possible without the Stimul8. I have more energy and focus in the gym than I ever have. I actually start to get anxious as I'm waiting for my next set... well after set 7 of squats I wasn't so anxious lol. I'm also noticing significant appetite suppression when I take Stimul8. There's a big difference between my off days when I don't take it and I'm wanting to eat everything in sight, and the days I do take it when I'm having to force the food down. Since I'm bulking this makes it more challenging, but I can certainly see how beneficial Stimul8 would be for anybody on a cut who needs the appetite suppression as well as extra energy in the gym.

Got to the gym at 530 am yesterday which is about 30 mins before I usually get there. Unfortunately I still didn't have enough time to get through my full workout so I went in today and finished it up. But here's the full workout...

Seated Cable Rows
140x8
140x8
140x8
140x8
160x8
180x8
180x8
200x8
*The first 4 sets were very controlled with a 2 second squeeze. The last couple sets had significant upper body movement to keep the reps going but the eccentric was a 3 second return.

Lateral DB Raise
40x8
40x8
30x8
30x8
30x8
30x8
20x8
20x8
*did these opposite from the rows. First couple took some cheating to get the weight up but it was controlled down. Had the traps working the weight mostly. As the weight decreased I focused more on remaining upright and really hitting the delts.

Preacher EZ Curls
70x8
70x8
70x8
70x8
70x8
70x8
70x12
70x9
*Okay only the first 3 sets were preacher Curls. Instead of lowering the weight I stood for the remainder of the sets. I had a buddy come into the gym after my 6th set and talked to him for a couple mins so I repped out 12 on the next set to get the pump back into my biceps and only waited 30s before hitting the last set.

The focus of this workout was chest which is why I had the 5x5 sets on Bench and the isolated pump sets on Chest Raise. Tomorrow I will be hitting legs again and I'll have more time before work so we'll see how much of this workout I can get in.

I definitely feel like the stimul8 has fully saturated my body. I am FULLY STIMUL8'D! The endurance is remarkable and mind/muscle focus is straight tunnel vision.

iirc, you had majority of workout done in first part of session yesterday?
I would not recommend going in to do just a few sets of same bodypart work, when you are on such 3-day week volumized routine..
rest/recovery is going to be an important part of the process, and the other side of the coin is to make it worthwhile and work up to full steam & intensity, you do not have enough time to do that with only a few sets

if you cannot fit it all in one day, just let it slide

Yeah this week is really to see how everything fits together. Normally this would've been done all on Monday and I think I'll be able to get it all in since I know what to expect now. The reason I finished up my workout the next day was because I wanted to feel the 8x8s for the exercises I didn't get to do. Now tomorrow I will only be working legs worth some ab work since that's the only muscle group I haven't hit. And Friday I will be off work because we're leaving to go to the Ozarks for my birthday but we're not leaving until afternoon so I'll have plenty of time to get everything in and I can have an accurate read of how long it actually takes. Friday will be focus on back day.

After my leg workout today, I've decided to just work specific muscle groups per workout. I'm really not going to have time to do a full body workout AND hit the volume I'm wanting and right now I'm totally digging the volume, ESPECIALLY with this immense energy and focus I have! So here's my workout today...
